Title: Health challenges
Post by: CountryMom on April 07, 2019, 09:45:55 PM

What would you say is the biggest health challenge you've had to overcome? Mine was just recently. I've been healing from a stomach ulcer for the past couple of months. It's been a long, painful, challenging road. I'm happy to report that I'm healing well and I'm almost feeling 100% better.  I'm sure I have it way easier than others have!

Yes, I have. I didn't have much of a choice, but now that I'm used to it, I find that I actually prefer eating this way. It's strange!

So you are eating healthier now..  that's a good thing!  They say if you can keep up a habit for 30 days it becomes a lifestyle.  I guess you are proof of that!   :big hug smiley sign:

Yes, it has been true in my case! I never thought I'd be able to survive without coffee, soda, juice, etc...but here I am. Haven't dropped dead just yet.  :hee20hee20hee:

Oh my gosh, I cannot imagine waking up without coffee. I'm drinking some to feeling awake right now and it's not even morning! More power to you, CountryMom. :coffee2:
